Hallelujah! Finally, a shoe trend I can really get behind. Comfy? check. Stylish? Check. Versatile? Check. Fun? Check.

I’m a sucker for all things colorful and loud (It’s a problem I’m working on). so while scrolling through Free Peoples’ amazing online shoe collection,  I stumbled across these bad boys:

The New Balance Classics Women’s Precious Metals Classic Sneaker

and got about as excited as a guniea pig getting a special carrot treat:

So,  I guess you could I got pretty excited. And because there was no way I was letting those suckers get away, I added them to my little shopping cart and kept scrolling and immediately saw these Asics trainers (also on free people):

It’s like they were made for me..kind of tacky and bright blue. So you can imagine how excited I was at this  point:

happy otter level of excitement.

I figured since I found two pair of sneakers I loved by just looking at Free People, there were probably more I might love even more available to me on the world wide web….

Fast forward to about 4 hours later where I had roughly 20 different sneakers in 10 different shopping carts. Here are some of my favorites I found:

Nike Women’s Internationalist Mid in Metallic Silver/Black-Hyper Jade, available for pre-order on Nike’s website for $110.00

These New Balance Women’s Elite 90s Running 530 Classics Running Shoe, available on Amazon for $85.00

These Nike Women’s Air Pegasus ’83 Trainers for $119.00 on Amazon
and also another color version of the Nike Women’s Air Pegasus 83 also available on Amazon

These New Balance 620 Light Grey Sneaker

And one more brightly colored pair of nike womens air pegasus 83/30 running trainers available on Amazon

After my evening of scouring the internet for the best and the brightest sneakers, I had to narrow down my options. I told myself I would only get one pair but my materialistic impulses won out in the end and I got two pairs and Interestingly enough,  I ended up buying the first two pairs I saw on Free People.  I really like idea of pairing white jeans with the Asics but of course it snowed the day I got them in the mail and the the ground was covered in over 6 inches of fresh snow, but not one to give up easy, I jumped!

And although I found dry ground when I was trying out my OTHER new pair, I liked how the first picture turned out so I jumped again!

But here’s to hoping this trend sticks around for a bit so I can justify getting another pair…maybe purple? Or Turquoise?? The possibilities are endless.
